Network vendors Arris, Cisco Systems, Casa Systems, Huawei and Harmonic are all working on network gear to support DOCSIS 3.1. Development of the initial DOCSIS 3.1 specifications to product certification has occurred in half the time of previous DOCSIS specifications.” “This represents the most rapid development and implementation cycle for a broadband technology development program ever delivered by CableLabs. “The DOCSIS 3.1 specifications assure the cable industry’s leadership in the delivery of broadband services,” CableLabs President and CEO Phil McKinney said. The certification means the multiple-system operator focused models are capable of operating across platforms and are ready to be sold to high-speed Internet customers. Products from Askey, Castlenet, Netgear, Technicolor and Ubee Interactive have all been approved to run DOCSIS 3.1. The modems will be capable of providing multi-gigabit Internet speeds and interoperability amongst products. When Masao is feeling feeble, his friends sometimes remind him of Ai, which replenishes his courage in an almost out-of-character sense.DOCSIS 3.1, the latest evolution in data over cable service interface specification, is now certified by CableLabs to run in modems from five key suppliers. To Ai though, he is somewhat like a pet and is often treated like one. Masao absolutely adores Ai and would do anything for her. They get along pretty well and are best friends. They are often together in most situations. Nene, along with Shin-chan, sometimes bully (but not in a bad way) and scold Masao which made him cry.
Masao and Nene are husband and wife there.
In the movie 2004, they 5 enters a movie and start a new life there, forgetting everything. Nene always give Masao her weak husband's role and characters. When they split up, they are usually seen together. After Shin-chan, he is the closest best friend for Nene, spends the most time together and have the most shippers after Shin-chan and Nene couple. He always does his best to not make her mad. He endures Nene and her 'real house' antics. Kazama stops him from crying most of the time. Masao sometimes gets angry with Shinchan because he is liked by Ai Chan but they are still best friends. They are very good friends although sometimes Shinchan makes him cry with his strange ways.
Masao also fell in love with an adult girl in the original manga series who he watched while she was dressing. He is a cry boy and also wears diapers.įirst a member of rose house (Migumi), then a new unnamed girl who is rich and comes in a limo with a driver. He is the smallest member of the Kasukabe Defense Organization. Only rarely he will become angry and when does so he closes his eyes and shouts. He is always crying on little things and when he is not crying he is always happy. He is also a "clean freak" bordering on an obsessive–compulsive disorder.
He is known to be a scared cat and a bit of a cry baby. He is a good boy at home and likes to maintain cleanliness as shown when he "cleans the mess in Shin-chan's house". He also likes the manga of Usuto Yoshii and his hobby is to write manga. Masao likes to collect phone cards and insects and even gave some crickets to Shin. In one episode she trained Masao to grow immune to Ai's whistles, that lead him into 'puppy-mode'. She also is angered when Ai treats Masao like a puppy. Whenever Nene is angry without her "happiness bunny" present to relieve anger, she seems to take it out on Masao. Shinchan and Nene sometimes scold him and make him cry while Kazama and Bo calm him and comforted him. Shinchan and Nene bully him sometimes (not in a bad way) for example when Masao showed his friends he had a four leaf clover that turns out to bring him luck multiple times, Shinchan and Nene fight for it and the leaves torn apart making Masao cry. Shin is one of his great friends, but his thoughtless words often put down Masao and makes him cry.
Shinchan and Nene often calls him 'Onigiri". His friends use the nickname as a term of endearment, while the people that bully him use it as a put-down. His nickname is "Onigiri" due to his shaven head's resemblance to a rice ball and there are several moments where Shin-chan accidentally mistook Masao's gray colored head for a rice ball and even tried to eat it. He can be easily embarrassed, but believes his and Ai's love can conquer anything. He is a weak, sensitive boy and is scared of many things. Masao Sato (マサオ) (5 years old), Max in the Vitello, Phuuz and Dutch dubs and shortened to Maso in the Funimation dub, is one of Shin-chan's friends and classmates from the sunflower class.
